Can’t get to the yacht so canned the idea of a launch this year but I can get to my long suffering motor boat which hasn’t been in the water for a few years so starting to plan on getting that ready.
The raised floor is rotten and been patched together for a few years, the last attempt to paint it I think just locked in moisture and it rotted quicker but it’s a fair age now anyway.
The floor is made up of around 20mm x 120mm planks screwed together in my panel sections held up by ply stringers.
What type of wood is suitable for this? I think it may have been pine but I’d like something that lasts and can be worked to give a decent enough finish, would Douglas fir be a better option ?
